Biography
Luigi Brancato was a powerful mafioso from Sicily, and he managed the Sicilian Mafia's interests in Lombardy. Brancato developed ties with businessmen such as Michele Mainaghi and Antonino Del Re, and he ensured that the Mafia was paid protection money in exchange for favors. In 1992, he had Mainaghi murdered after he was placed under house arrest, intending to prevent him from testifying against the Mafia. He came to dominate his daughter, Bibi Mainaghi, running the company for her (despite the fact that she was its president and majority shareholder). In 1993, he helped Zeno Mainaghi with taking control of the Mainaghi Group, and he had Bibi murdered in what would appear to be a drug overdose.
